The recent interview of John Rendez, where he openly shared his feelings of being “unwelcome” by Lotlot De Leon and her siblings, has stirred up a fierce response from the family — especially from Lotlot herself.

In a bold and emotional statement released just hours after the interview aired, Lotlot de Leon did not hold back, vehemently denying John’s claims and accusing him of fabricating stories for sympathy and attention.

“What John said is a complete lie,” Lotlot declared in an exclusive interview with reporters. “He never felt ‘unwelcome’ in this family. If anything, he always chose to distance himself and create misunderstandings.”

The tension between the two grew visibly intense as Lotlot continued:

“I don’t know why he feels the need to say these things now. We have always respected and accepted him. This interview is disrespectful not only to us but also to the memory of our mother, Nora Aunor.”

Sources close to the family revealed that the interview caught them off guard, causing ripples of discomfort within the clan. Some relatives expressed disappointment, saying that airing family matters publicly only worsens the pain of their recent loss.

Despite Lotlot’s strong denial, fans and netizens remain divided — some sympathize with John’s emotional openness, while others believe Lotlot’s side, viewing John’s statements as a betrayal.

Social media has exploded with heated debates and trending hashtags related to the family feud, reflecting the public’s fascination with the personal lives of Nora Aunor’s children and those closest to her.

When asked if this marks a permanent rift, Lotlot insisted:

“We are family. Differences happen, but fabricating lies is unacceptable. I hope John will reconsider his words and respect us all.”

Meanwhile, John Rendez has yet to respond publicly to Lotlot’s accusation. Fans eagerly await his reaction, wondering if he will clarify or escalate the controversy further.

As this family drama unfolds in the public eye, many are left hoping for reconciliation, yet bracing for more revelations to come.

A very turbulent issue erupted after John Rendez’s controversial interview that caused a strong reaction from Lotlot de Leon, one of Nora Aunor’s children.

In an exclusive interview, John released his version of what happened within the family — specifically his relationship with Lotlot and his other siblings. But not long after, Lotlot bluntly responded to John’s statements, calling him a “liar” and a “manipulator.”

“What he said is not true. The story we know as a family is different,” Lotlot said strongly and directly on a talk show.

He said that John seems to be using the media to paint himself as a victim and remove blame from him, but the truth is, he has many shortcomings as part of the family.

Lotlot also gave several examples of how they were allegedly hurt and deceived by some of John’s words and actions that were not shown to the public.

The tension between the two sides has caused a major rift, especially since John has repeatedly expressed his love for Nora’s children, but it seems that some of them do not accept it.

Meanwhile, the other siblings have remained silent on this issue, but there is a strong suspicion that the family conflict will worsen in the coming days.

This heated dispute has reopened the door to old wounds and issues that have not been resolved for a long time in Nora Aunor’s family. Many are watching to see how it will be resolved — or if it will only deepen.
